AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Agricultural Science: DNA analysis of droppings from 502 birds and bats in northern Guinea-Bissau found they consumed 87 rice-pest species. The study mapped 2,276 feeding interactions, suggesting the two groups help control different pests in rice fields. Vaccine Research: Guinea-Bissau cancelled a proposed US-funded hepatitis B trial involving 14,000 newborns after concerns over plans to delay vaccination for half the babies, despite WHO guidance recommending a dose at birth. Energy Access: A World Bank-backed regional electricity project has connected 490 communities across Mali, Gambia and Guinea-Bissau, improving power access for nearly half a million people.
